Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Patriots a A-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Nick Nash at the 106th pick, a reach of 149 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

The Warren steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Jonah Savaiinaea
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku in pick No. 39 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick45 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
They let Derrick Harmon come to them and pounced at slot 45. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick70 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild is a better player than Round 3, Pick 6 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick80 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in the 80th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick106 Rnd4 Nick Nash
Nick Nash at No. 106 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick141 Rnd5 Tez Johnson
They robbed the room for Tez Johnson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick221 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Seth McLaughlin in pick 221. It fills a real need, too.
Pick223 Rnd7 Nick Martin
Nick Martin at pick No. 223 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick235 Rnd7 RJ Harvey
Value said wait; RJ Harvey in the 235th pick says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
